This might sound silly but does anyone NOT want there DC to sleep through the night? MY DD is 11 weeks and I don't want her to sleep through the night yet. It just means she needs me less and shes to little to not need me. And I love when she wakes up in the middle of the night puts her head towards my chest and wants to eat. I always latch her on stroke her head and watch her eat and fall back asleep. But one night she slept from 11 till 7 and that made me really sad. I guess night time is DD and I's time together. During the day Im chasing DS around and teaching him everything I can it just feels like DD gets put aside a lot during the day KWIM? I guess Im CRAZY!

Well, when I nursed I didn't mind him waking at night but when you bottle feed it feels like they don't need you anyway, kwim.. I nursed my ds for 7 1/2 months and I was ok with it but he is now on formula and well.. he sleeps all night for the most part but when he does wake for a bottle I get sad cause he can do it all on his own,lol.. I love my kids,lol

I always welcome sleeping through the night lol I'm tired.
What I have done is put the kiddos on kind of opposite daytime sleep schedules... that way I have time with Tyler and Bailey alone (at least 1.5 hours each) during the day. That may help... don't know how old your ds is though

Well I guess I might feel different some time down the road but a lot of moms want their babies sleeping through the night young and even are proud that their babies are sleeping through the night at like 6 - 8 weeks. I just have sad feelings about her doing it so young. Like I mentioned she is only 11 weeks. I'm just not ready for her to grow up. With DS I wanted him to do everything right away. I learned my lesson and now I just want her to need me as DS doesn't need me as much anymore

I hear ya mama mel. last night, for the first time, my son slept from 10 pm until 5 am w/o waking. when I woke up to fix hubbys lunch, I realized that he hadnt woken up. Of course... being a paraniod mama, I immediately went to his room and touched his little chest to make sure he was breathing (hes 5 months old, but I still worry about sids). Its almost sad to know he dont need me at night.
